Doorstep tiling

My daughter is desperate to get her doorstep retiled.She has phoned around
most of the local tilers and non of them seem to be very interested.A couple
of them have said that they would not do it at this time of year.I take it
that they are thinking of frost ,but we have not had any of that yet,so can
anyone please tell me why they are reluctant to touch it.There are hundreds
of new houses going up in the area so I should not think that they have to
wait until Spring for doorsteps to be tiled.
